Attend A Town Hall? -- Also: SPRT February 19, 2017February 17, 2017 CNN: How liberals are preparing for Congressional Recess. Enter your zip code and join them! You don’t even have to be all that liberal — just horrified. (That’s what I am: just horrified.) Since I suggested it last month, SPRT reported a quarterly loss, driving its shares even a bit lower. I bought more at $2.16 Friday. The company burning through $1.1 million of its cash and short-term investments last quarter, bringing them down to $53.4 million — $2.85 a share. That compares with a burn of $2.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. The new CEO‘s distinctions include having graduated summa cum laude from Wharton and, perhaps even better, not being the old CEO. If he is able to fully stabilize the company — which actually earned $10 million once upon a time — we could find ourselves having paid $2.16 for: $2.85 in cash and short-term securities (or perhaps $2.50 after a few more quarterly losses until the ship is righted) a business with $60 million in sales and motivated new management (if it ever commanded 1X current sales, that would be $3 more) $120 million in net operating losses applicable against future profits In the company’s words: Support.com, Inc.
